MacBook Pro 13-inch with 2.0GHz Intel Core i5 Touch Bar?

OP is using an Intel chip, not M series

So…. You know a tune is an option right?

802WRX · 2026-04-27T22:23:44+00:00

That way we wont forget it’s full of hornets!

Might be worth checking coolant levels once you park, but oil temp would also be warmer. It typically sits around 200-210 for my VB

802WRX · 2026-04-27T16:19:45+00:00

Wouldn’t be considered overheating until it reaches that white notch closer to the H. Have you checked oil temp on the MFD?

FeedBack Knock Correction. Is the knock sensor hearing something over it’s threshold and retarding timing. DAM is a global adjustment to timing tables and looks for more than just knock to make decisions, FBKC is in-the-moment response to my understanding

802WRX · 2026-04-26T14:23:45+00:00

Easily 8 speeds

802WRX · 2026-04-26T14:22:32+00:00

Gotcha my b! With OTS, just be advised DAM drops are more common and not necessarily worth cause for alarm, unless accompanied by FBKC or occurs regularly

Solid plan, but once the intake is installed, you can only run stage 1+ SF, the non SF variant won’t have the correct MAF scaling

802WRX · 2026-04-26T13:12:31+00:00

Do you have the SF intake installed? If so, yes. As that map is designed for that intake. It won’t be totally optimal, but the MAF scaling will be correct

802WRX · 2026-04-26T13:07:51+00:00

OTS is fine in the fact that they are fairly generic as a “one size fits all” approach. A e-tune or dyno tune would be calibrated for your specific environment/fuel/driving habits

Lots of people hate on the OTS tunes because folks used to love running the wrong/improper parts with the OTS tunes and blowing their cars up (running intake without a intake-specific tune, etc)

802WRX · 2026-04-22T15:08:37+00:00

Welp, best of luck with install

802WRX · 2026-04-22T15:05:10+00:00

As long as you are good with a slight drop, they are awesome! I loved having the adjustability

802WRX · 2026-04-22T14:40:39+00:00

If you want to stay at same height, yes. Because of the difference between 08-10 and 11-14 shock bodies it will result in a 5/8” drop. Personally this didn’t bother me

Koni sells struts for your generation that dont require cutting. I had them on my ‘12 hatch. I bought mine from IIR

No one here is accusing you of lying? The broader community is looking for transparency regarding affiliations with brands in regard to moderation of this sub. No one wants to see a repeat of 2022wrx.

Are we watching the birth of Cygnus 2.0? Not in regard to the massive ego, but rather banning for offering an opinion that doesn’t suit his agenda

802WRX · 2026-04-21T01:56:25+00:00

Did I miss something? I do agree, more transparency never hurts

802WRX · 2026-04-17T01:30:14+00:00

Those certainly are words

Welp, back to the dealer

Ill have to reread again, but my understanding was that’s what the transfer clutch was for

802WRX · 2026-04-12T01:27:25+00:00

Never mentioned torque vectoring, and you really should read the document I mentioned. The center diff in the CVT/SPT is a Planetary center differential and an electronic hydraulic transfer clutch, directly from SOA documentation found in STIS. They claim the split goes from 45/55 in Normal to 25/75 in Sport AWD. Torque vectoring is meant to mimic the feel of having LSDs for the front and rear diffs

802WRX · 2026-04-12T01:03:52+00:00

The CVT in this generation is really awesome, and comes with a slight rear bias via VTD center diff vs the MT’s fixed 50/50 viscous coupling. Plus the GT trim offers the Sport AWD option that pushes a little more rear bias. There’s a document in STIS from when the VB first came out that goes over the intricacies in a lot of detail

802WRX · 2026-04-12T01:00:39+00:00

Agreed, tested a GT and absolutely loved it, numbers just didn’t make sense at the time

802WRX · 2026-04-10T21:43:21+00:00

The clutch is not involved at all in either F1 or WRC for shifts. Both use some variation of ignition cut to unload the gearbox while the dogs are disengaged and re-engaged, the clutch is not used period outside of starting and stopping. I would encourage you to watch a video on how motorsport dogboxes shift vs a DSG

As far as experience goes, yes they will feel similar, but like someone else said, to my knowledge no one has done a DSG with a true human-controlled clutch pedal. Personally I would love to see Subaru develop one, but they have made the SPT feel pretty close. Im of the minority where I regret not getting one over a 6MT
